How to redefine \cite to switch according to \jb@@type?

Hi,

because I needed a quite strange bibtype, I just implemented my own one. The way, \cite uses that type is supposed to be different than the standard way of citation as well. I already found a way to construct that using a combination of \cite* and \citefield.

Does anyone have a clue how I could make \cite switch to the standard \cite or my new one according to the \jb@@type? Here is what I tried so far, I am well aware that in terms of style etc. this is a pretty poor and embarrassing piece of work... :-(

---------------------------------------------------------------------
\makeatletter
\let\orig@cite\cite%
%
\renewcommand*{\cite}{\@ifnextchar[{\my@cite}{\my@cite[]}}%
\newcommand*{\my@cite}{}%
\def\my@cite{\@ifnextchar[{\my@@cite}{\my@@cite[]}}%
\def\my@@cite[#1]{\@ifnextchar[{\my@@@cite[#1]}{\my@@@cite[][#1]}}%
\def\my@@@cite[#1][#2]#3{%
\ifthenelse{\equal{\jb@@type}{newtype}}{%%
\mynewcite[#1][#2]{#3}%
}{%
\orig@cite[#1][#2]{#3}%
}}%
\makeatother
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks a lot for your help!
Peter
